Lleyton Hewitt will begin his French Open campaign with a first round clash against Albert MontanesYou can watch and bet on the action from the French Open at bet365Lleyton Hewitt is scheduled to make his first appearance since March on Sunday, in round one of the French Open. Under usual circumstances, the Aussie might be considered to have a decent chance of doing well in this event, but his recent absence from the game does not bode well. He will take on Albert Montanes of Spain.
Montanes has enjoyed far more activity on the Tour this season, but hasn’t managed to add a sixth title to his trophy cabinet. The world No. 37 isn’t expected to be one of the major players over the next two weeks, though he could still achieve a few good results if he’s on top form. Montanes is a more than capable clay court player, and he should fancy his chances against Hewitt here.
Hewitt enters this match with a 2-0 head to head record against Montanes, though this will be the first meeting between the pairing on clay. Intriguingly, both of Hewitt’s wins against Montanes came in Slam competitions, and both were straight set victories. Hewitt may be one of the best players in the game on his day, but Montanes appears to stand a decent chance of snapping his losing streak against the world No. 64.
